Chapter 5: There’s a Kind of Power Called Earthling
By the time Bai Ge shifted his attention to this planet and arrived in person, blood overflowed like floating pestles (indicating massive casualties).
The once celestial and vibrant planet was plunged into chaos and slaughter, as if the apocalypse had descended.
Many Loose Immortals knelt hopelessly on the ground, their eyes already resigned to resistance.
Bai Ge found it strange. With a thought, he quickly understood what had happened.
World destruction. World destruction by a dog.
Bai Ge could instantly recall events that had just transpired through a mere thought.
It turned out that the vicious dog he had pulled into the Brain Hole ran rampant, treating slaughter as a game.
Not just the Loose Immortals, even True Immortals who had descended from the Immortal Realm were swatted dead with a single blow.
The Vicious Dog’s instant annihilation of a True Immortal shocked the Immortal Realm.
An Immortal descending to the mortal realm, killed by a dog? It was an immense disgrace to the entire Immortal Realm.
Instantly, the Vicious Dog’s rampage attracted the descent of thousands of Immortals.
Among them were Great Luo Golden Immortals, far more powerful than True Immortals by an unknown degree.
When the Great Luo Golden Immortal descended, everyone thought that finally, someone could handle this dog.
Unexpectedly, all the Great Luo Golden Immortal’s treasures were torn apart by the Vicious Dog like toys.
Many were mighty primordial-born treasures, yet they were bitten into and crunched like bones… crisp and crunchy!
Including the Great Luo Golden Immortal himself, who was directly bitten to death, the scene was extremely tragic!
The descended Immortals finally tasted despair; they felt their lifetimes of immortal cultivation had been wasted!
That Vicious Dog’s physical body was dreadfully hard, its strength terrifyingly unimaginable.
No supernatural abilities, no sorcery, no immortal spiritual power.
It was brute force shattering ten thousand techniques.
No matter what magnificent ultimate skill was unleashed, the other party would just… open its mouth and bite!
“Ah! My Eight Treasures Glazed Violet Gold Mystic Light Pagoda! How can it be so brittle?”
“This dog is poisonous!”
An Immortal inadvertently caught bacteria from the dog. Earthly bacteria from Reality were more terrifying here than plague gods. The immortal body collapsed almost instantly.
“Quick! Back to the Immortal Realm! Never descend again!” commanded an Immortal Sovereign, turning to flee.
At this point, the Vicious Dog’s overwhelming power finally stunned the entire Immortal Realm. Its unbelievable, impossibly terrifying strength frightened them so thoroughly that no one dared descend anymore.
Thus, the whole planet swiftly became hell on earth, with the Vicious Dog dominating ruthlessly.
It treated this place as its playground, everything a toy; a careless swat would sink continents and crack the planet!
This world-destroying dog directly caused incalculable deaths on the planet. And this was without the Vicious Dog being intelligent or realizing it could tear the planet apart yet.
Otherwise, this planet would have been long gone…
Merely relying on the “Earth viruses” carried on its fur was enough to make this place a scene of utter misery.
It wasn’t just the Vicious Dog destroying the world; it was the bacteria and viruses too!
Such an overwhelming disparity in power made it seem as if the Immortals weren’t even equal to bacteria!
The strongest physical body in the Brain Hole World was unquestionably that of Bai Ge. In other words, it used the Earthling as the highest benchmark.
No matter how many “levels” existed below this threshold, none could surpass an Earthling.
As for this Vicious Dog, truth be told, its physical constitution wasn’t inferior to Bai Ge’s. Even if slightly less, it was still vastly more formidable than any Great Luo Golden Immortal.
“This…”
Bai Ge couldn’t help but feel a pang of frustration within. These beings were all Life forms born instantaneously through his conscious thought.
They were utterly real and distinct existences, impossible for Bai Ge to ignore.
Even now, aware they were merely born from his imagination, he couldn’t tolerate the dog playing with them so callously.
“Die!”
Rising anger spurred Bai Ge; with a thought, he willed the Vicious Dog erased—a complete annihilation of its will.
However, his hitherto infallible control over this world failed for the first time.
Or rather, it failed only towards this dog.
“Hmm… is it because it comes from Reality?”
His thoughts shifted; Bai Ge defined an ultimate supreme technique.
The technique had no name. Bai Ge defined it as: Strikes canine-kind, instantly achieving perfect control over its sentience.
Irresistible. Provided it was a dog, this power would inevitably control it.
This supreme technique was created by him, the Absolute Sovereign, the Setting Weaver, the objectively defining entity itself. Within the Brain Hole World, it was absolutely impossible to resist.
It belonged to “Absolute Meaning”!
However, this technique also failed.
The majestic power descended like a meteor, striking the Vicious Dog, which showed no reaction whatsoever.
“Not working? Just because it comes from Reality, my powers are ineffective against it?”
Bai Ge frowned. At this moment, the Vicious Dog he attacked became enraged. It looked up and spotted Bai Ge far away in Outer Space.
It leapt; the planet suffered massive trauma again as it shot towards Bai Ge like a cannonball.
Bai Ge curled his lip, showing not a trace of fear.
“Still dare to bite me?”
“Tch, I come from Reality too!”
Since defined abilities were ineffective, he might as well fight physically!
He quickly realized that his own Settings were just that—his own Settings. They weren’t acknowledged settings of Reality.
Just like the gold here becoming worthless outside.
No matter how strong the things he defined here were, that strength only applied here. In Reality, it would mean almost nothing.
Therefore, to deal with a dog from Reality, the person from Reality—himself—had to take action personally!
The reason the Vicious Dog was so powerful was its Reality-grade physique.
And Bai Ge himself had now physically entered.
There’s a kind of power, called Earthling.
“BOOM!”
Bai Ge threw a punch. The fabric of space itself struggled to withstand it.
The unbelievable force tore spacetime.
The mere shockwaves alone threatened to obliterate the entire Star System.
Seeing his momentary lapse threaten destruction again, Bai Ge immediately willed the shockwaves away.
“Who designed such overly flashy special effects? Uh… I did…”
Bai Ge remembered; during his lucid dream on the hospital bed, he had defined that surpassing a certain threshold of power could tear spacetime.
“Enough of that! In this Universe henceforth, pure physical strength shall not produce such effects in Vacuum! A mere fist shall not shatter the void!”
With his words, the rules were rewritten! Major nerf!
Effectively, pure martial arts in this Universe were downgraded to a mere side path…
The countless Body Cultivators in this Universe hadn’t yet realized… their future looked incredibly bleak!
Naturally, this alteration only affected products of the Brain Hole.
Bai Ge, as an Earthling, possessed inherently Reality-based power. The power itself wouldn’t be affected, only the special effects it produced.
His strength, Bai Ge’s strength, equalled the upper limit of the Universe’s definition of strength.
So, at most, the visual impact was reduced; the actual damage remained unchanged.
“Scram!”
A flying kick. Bai Ge had trained in martial arts for years; why would he fear a dog?
Especially in the Brain Hole World, where Bai Ge held immense advantages. This was his domain.
The ability to fly freely, Teleportation at will—these inherent traits alone prevented the Vicious Dog from biting him.
The Humans surviving on the planet watched this fierce battle between man and dog.
There were no flashy special effects, any familiar Magical Power, or Magic Treasures.
They had no idea that the “Truth” they revered as absolute, the cultivation path they saw as fundamental, was merely something the man in Outer Space had whimsically defined based on fiction.
To Bai Ge, it was messy setting. To them, it was the Great Dao!
“A Sage? Or what? Who is that young man?”
“I don’t know! Ultimate Simplicity! Absolute Sage-level simplicity!”
“He’s the only one suppressing that savage beast! And so effortlessly… must be a supreme being! An existence beyond our conception!”
With their mindsets, they’d never guess Bai Ge was the “Objective Reality” defining their Truth.
Their vision was confined from the moment of their creation.
All they could do was watch Bai Ge act.
However, Bai Ge soon stopped his attacks.
“So tough! It is a Tibetan mastiff, even if not purebred; my fists alone can’t break it down. Here, there’s no real air, and it lacks my permissions, yet suffocation isn’t fatal… Has ‘lung capacity’ been relatively magnified to ‘superhuman lung capacity’?”
Using his absolutely superior mobility, Bai Ge was pummeling the Vicious Dog, but he couldn’t realistically beat it to death with bare fists. He wasn’t Wu Song…
“I’m an idiot… Anything real works. I could just pick up a rock, right?”
…
